I remember in the late 90's working as an enterprise systems management architect (Tivoli) for a large financial services firm, and we were deploying the entire project on Solaris and Sun Boxes that were crazy expensive.
Because of this, I was given a Sun Workstation at my desk alongside my Windows machine, and I thought it made me look like the baddest mfr on the floor with that big monitor, the sun workstation with the logo, and that antiquated x windows environment. It was like voodoo level stuff for your regular Netware lan admins etc that were my neighbors.

A definite Sun vs HP rivalry going on there, and very eye opening to me seeing HP-UX and Sun were both “Unix” but very different in so many details.
